Michael Moore: "It's time to put a stake in the heart of capitalism"

"The dirtiest word in capitalism is enough, there's no such thing as enough. They want more and more and more. It's like a beast and you have to stop the beast... You can't regulate the beast, you really have to put a stake in its heart otherwise it will just find a new path."*

*Filmmaker Michael Moore says it's time to put "stake in the heart" of capitalism

By Gregory Bonnell (CP) – 3 days ago

TORONTO — "Manifesto" was one of the titles being bandied around by Michael Moore for his new movie - a fitting one given that his scathing attack on capitalism calls for nothing less than putting a "stake through the heart of the beast."

"Capitalism: A Love Story" examines the economic meltdown and subsequent bailout of Wall Street and calls on the audience to reject America's particular brand of free market economics in favour of a system based on the ideals of democracy.
